I tend to agree. Unless:

* You have to continue using CVS for some reason.

* You expect to frequently need access to old versions and don't want
to have to resort to using CVS for such cases.

* Any other reason?

The second point might be significant if, for example, there is a
stable branch of the product in CVS and you don't want to keep using
CVS to maintain the stable branch.

In general, I suspect in most cases it is OK not to worry about
preserving the entire history.
